now this s*** cracks me up, RX ad...

[timesrchanging]

journeyman,
your opinion really means very little to me. i was adding to the post by stating that other sites have taken the initiative to put together a few options to protect the players. if as shrink has aid "it is a bad business decision" to offer the players protection then i think that says a lot for his and the sites direction. there are already some great programs to protect the player and last i read of them there is no requirement for anyone to enter the programs and be protected so i am sure i will not be seeing you in any of these programs, fine it is your choice. however, other players should be aware that there are options.

I suppose you decided to make up a name and join in on the discussion "timesareachangin"?
Whatever man, you could atleast use your real name, or have you been banned? perhaps a smalltime site owner?

Drunkguy, I have raised the question again to see if we can`t come up with something, its a complex situation though you have to admit that...Meanwhile BetPanAm is still paying people even though I think they are only paying people off of new player losses , hopefully all of the Rxers will be taken care of...

Maybe The Shrink has his own idea of how he plans to add poster insurance..it is the offseason so to speak when it comes to new books, I would think a new plan would have to be in place for any new book to sign on as an advertiser, so maybe that is a plan already being worked on..
People keep mentioning new sites and other sites assuring posters lol...these are the same sites that have spunged off theRx to make any kind of name for theirselves, without this site no one would even no them, thats why they never stop telling their readers why TheRx is wrong and their new way is the right way...Why? Because everyone wants to cash in on what Ken has created...That is the bottom line!

you know what the solution to all this bullshit is

stop being a stupid sportsbettor.

im assmuming that the people that come to this site are knowledgeable when it comes to sportsbetting. then why do you keep losing? it really isnt that hard. all you need to do is pick 5 more winners out of 100 then a coin flip would provide and then you can quit your job within 10 years

if 90% of the people that visit this site didnt lose season after season and year after year. the advertisers wouldnt even want to come here and we wouldnt have to put up with the rx advertising because the new people would learn how to stick it to the man on a yearly basis

isnt that the ironic thing. if this site was truly what it purports to be then no advertisers would want to be here. that is pretty funny to an uneducated dude like myself

i imagine the smartest people registered to this site dont even post. why should they? they are slowly grinding away at a nice living without the thought of selling their picks. isnt it funny when the new poster gets so much shit when they are probably the sharpest person in the room. however i do understand the problem with the rampant ghosting that occurs here. if i told my 5 year old neice that people carry on conversations with themselves to make themselves feel better, she would probably cry because she feels sorry for them. yet here it is almost encouraged. i think we need more 5 year olds posting.

finally we need to stop complaining about the rx and her business model it aint going to change as long as there are "fish" to be taken advantage of. like in life the true revenge is to live well. so start treating sportsbetting like a business and always play smart. in no time at all the advertisers would slowly disappear.

cheers

Caesar-

you feeling OK?

it doen't matter if you hit 50% or 85% if the sportsbook doesn't pay you out

Sure, I know who the good books are...but does the guy who stubmled across this site because of an ad in the Don Best scheule know?

Maybe he should reup with PanAM so the "RXers" should get paid. Bullshit.

C'mon now get with the program.

 

[Buzzsaw]

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> so obviously the powers that be here are wrong about books sometimes. BUT THE RX IS STILL THE BEST SOURCE OF INFORMATION ABOUT OFFSHORE SPORTSBOOKS.

BAR NONE <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>That was pretty funny

 

[TheGeneral+]

Back to business. How is the jury this fine day?

 

[WEEKENDALKI]

The shrink f...ucked up big time with Pan Am. But as i have stated before, this pinhead cannot be held responsible for every sportsbook that goes bad in the past and in the future. More important than the recommendation of The shrink or even a site like this is doing your own due diligence. Ask fellow posters, find out who the owners are, and what their reputation is in their past business ventures. To solely blame the shrink for losses at pan am is weak at best.

 

[Styxman]

I simply don't get it why everyone and their mother is mad at the Rx and Kenny and the Mods over this little Panam scandal. Heck, sh!t happens and we all have to live with it.

So guys why don't you just sack up and conduct yourselves like men and not like a bunch of cackling hyenas!

Who does this moron think gets the don best book? The girlscouts. Only serious gamblers are walking around with a copy. To say some uneducated newby is in danger is a fvkin joke.

Really? If that was true, why would anybody bother advertising in there, because surely the "serious gamblers" have already heard about any company like the RX that would bother to pay for advertisements. No need to pay for advertising to a segment of the population that is already aware of your product

Oh, by the way, I have gotten "promotional" schedules from sportsbooks I have never even signed up with. Maybe some girlscouts are on that list also

 

[1cheater]

What I truly have trouble with understanding is the fact that PanAm was left on the recomended list here at the RX DAYS after it was widely known that they were in MAJOR distress.

How many people clicked on that Panam link because of someone's incompitance?

that was irresponsible, but i doubt malicious. nevertheless, your point is valid.

Why does Marlboro advertise every one knows they exist but not everyone uses them. In case you missed it Einstein there are plenty of gaming portals around.

 

[Mookdog]

As a veteran gambler but relative newbie to internet wagering, I believe I understand the risks involved.
I find the Rx invaluable as a resource, but I'm not naive enough to think a monitoring site can insure the credit of the books I choose to do business with.
I read what the Rx says, then go with my instincts. Haven't been burned yet, but I know that can change.
Point is, we are certainly adults here - or need to be - and I no more hold someone else accountable for the books I choose than the wagers I make. Or the financial advisors who faithfully tried to salvage my 401k with little success last year.

I am glad you have to resort to childish name calling in every post directed to me. good way to get your point across

to compare Marlboro (which sells a product) and the RX (which purports to sell information) is not valid. Main reason being is that your initial claim was that the RX ad in Don Best was directed to people who are knowledgeable gamblers (and hence have access to the Don Best schedule). Your argument is based on the fact that these people already POSSESS the information in question (since they are indeed "knowledgable"). The appropriate comparison would be: does Marlboro advertise to people who already have a full supply of cigarettes in hand, and thus will have no reason to buy their product? In other words, does Marlboro advertise to people who already HAVE their product? If so, Marlboro is wasting their money, because that is not an effective use of advertising dollars.

And your assumption that the RX would pay to have this ad taken out to "seasoned gamblers" refutes the whole ad itself. In it, the point is: "If you are worried about where your money is going, we can help". Why does a serious gambler need this information? By definition, a serious gambler should already have it. To think that any "serious gambler" nowadays is not fully cognizant of offshore books (and their safety relative to others)is ridiculous.

Thus either the RX is wasting their advertising dollars, or they are trying to sell their product to those that are not "in the know". If they already know, they don't need to see the ad...

it does not take advanced thinking to follow this argument through

small thing u r missing!

If your financial advisors were paid by a corporation to push shitty financial instruments for their own personal gain, that would not only be illegal, but extremely unethical!!!... pretty much what went on here with BetPanam at the RX!!!
